Shi Yue quickly chased Mrs. Ninth's carriage, but he became suspicious of the old beggar!
I was obviously wearing a coarse cloth gown, and I looked poor at first glance, but that young man was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and he was definitely a young man from a wealthy family! Why did he only beg from me? But not from that dude for gold and silver?
Are beggars picking out soft persimmons when begging? Shi Yue thought about it for a long time. Although he didn’t know the truth, there must be something fishy in it!
Madam Ninth had already arrived at the Commander's door and was looking around, but she didn't know where Shi Yue had gone. She secretly wondered in her heart: Could this bastard have some grudge against him and run away alone secretly?
She twisted her waist, and there was a trace of anxiety between her eyebrows: Could this handsome brother not even understand the coquettishness of a girl's family?
Just as he felt lost, Shi Yue followed him from behind, sweating profusely!
Madam Ninth finally felt relieved, stamped on the three-inch golden lotus, and said angrily: "Where did the smelly stone go? As my personal bodyguard, what kind of crime should I be punished if I dare to leave my post without permission?"
Shi Yue wiped the sweat with his sleeves and said with a smile: "When Madam Ninth arranges a mule for me, I won't have to be in such a mess."
When Madam Ninth listened to Shi Yue mentioning her random idea, she could no longer hold back the joy on her face. She let out a chuckle and giggled, and the air was suddenly filled with a sweet fragrance.
This little girl is smiling at me again, so seductive!
Shi Yue let out a long breath, calmed his mind, and looked at the dark beast-headed door in front of him and the ferocious stone lions. Fang felt the majesty of the commander's residence, this behemoth, in person!
There are vermilion walls, dark green glazed tiles on the roof, and a blue plaque trimmed with gold hangs in the middle, with three large gold characters "Protector of the Country" written on it.
There are eight large horses sculptured on the golden frame, with strange shapes and different gods.
The big horse on the top shook its mighty mane and neighed loudly; the two unicorns at the bottom shook their heads and tails, teasing a glittering golden orb.
Under the plaque, stood a team of black guards wearing wild goose uniforms!
They held double-edged swords in their hands and stared at the various pedestrians coming and going. Although they looked at each other one by one, they did not look very powerful, but standing in a row, they had an aura of arrogant and horizontal, which made people fearful at first sight.
Madam Ninth walked to Shi Yue and whispered in his ear: "Little Shitou, this place is no better than Xiong's Mansion. The commanding masters are so powerful that no one can match them. You must not be so presumptuous as to put all that clothes on you."
Put away all the thorns, otherwise, if something happens, I won’t be able to protect you!"
I’m covered in thorns? Where do I have thorns? You think I’m a hedgehog!
Shi Yue didn't even listen to a single word of Mrs. Ninth's advice. His whole mind was intoxicated by the orchid-like fragrance. He twitched his nose slightly and complained: "Mrs. Ninth, you are so verbose...
"
Shi Yue followed Madam Ninth and walked passionately into the splendid hall!
All the civil and military officials of the Yan Kingdom gathered together as if the emperor were in court in the morning. The only difference was that during the morning court, the ministers stood, but at this time, they were all given a seat under their buttocks.
A small ant like Shi Yue is naturally not qualified to enter the main hall.
Mrs. Ninth repeatedly asked him to stand at the corner door and not to walk around, so she led Xi'er into the back hall mysteriously.
Until this moment, Shi Yue didn't understand what kind of benefits it would bring to Xiong Qishan's promotion of rank and title if the Ninth Madam attended the birthday banquet. He leaned against the corner door, looking up at the ugly appearance of the officials, and listened to everyone's flattery and flattery.
I felt very boring!
But when his lazy eyes caught the figure of the noble commander sitting in the middle, his figure straightened up and his eyes showed a strange look.
My heart twitched for no reason: This guy... has such a strong aura!
Lord Protector of Dayan, Commander of the Black Guards - Kang Shanzhen, sits upright on a high platform, his thin cheeks inlaid with a pair of deep triangular eyes!
Although he is sixty years old, he still has an imposing manner.
He glanced majestically at the ministers who were full of flattery on their faces, and his eyes were filled with a look of satisfaction and confidence.
A burly warrior passed by him and whispered in his ear: "Sir, Eunuch Zhang just reported that the emperor was fighting crickets with a group of young eunuchs. The fight was getting exciting and he had no time to come to celebrate his birthday. Send him
The little eunuch presents a pair of blue sea corals to wish you happiness, longevity and health!" After the warrior finished speaking, he stood respectfully, waiting for Kang Shanzhen's thunderous wrath.
Unexpectedly, Kang Shanzhen did not make a big move. He frowned slightly, stroked his beard, and said thoughtfully: "Is the emperor really fighting crickets?"
"It's absolutely true. Eunuch Zhang just reported that the emperor was making a bet with the eunuch. Whoever loses a round will take off a piece of clothing. Now the emperor is so red-eyed after losing that he almost took off his pants..."
The burly man couldn't help laughing when he said the wonderful part.
"How presumptuous! You dare to arrange the emperor's work without authorization? Retreat immediately!" Kang Shanzhen scolded in a low voice, with such power that the man did not dare to laugh anymore. He lowered his eyebrows and bowed and retreated.
He looked down at the ministers, and a proud smile appeared at the corner of his mouth inadvertently: What use is there for a little emperor who doesn't understand etiquette, doesn't care about the overall situation, and only knows how to fight crickets?
The wine glasses in the hands of the officials have been lifted up, and it is obvious that they are listening to his instructions.
Kang Shanzhen stood up with a smile, waved his sleeves gently, sweeping the world's momentum across his body, raised his glass and said loudly: "My colleagues, today is my sixtieth birthday. Thank you for coming. Everyone sitting here
, you are my friend! Come, let’s drink this cup together. May the weather be smooth for our country, the country be peaceful and the people be safe! Let us wish our emperor endless happiness and longevity, and unification for thousands of years!”
There was a burst of cheers in the mansion, and all the officials seemed extremely excited. They all prepared generous gifts, hoping to please the commander at this rare opportunity.
In particular, Xiong Qishan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, knows very well that being an official is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.
Those wrinkled white eyes were shining with sparkle, and he couldn't wait to stand up. He raised his glass and said flatteringly: "The commander has devoted himself to serving the country and worked day and night. He is really a role model for our officials. I admire you very much."
, I wish to command you to be in good health and to be famous forever..." As he spoke, he raised his glass of wine and drank it in a free and easy gulp!
This flattering move made the superior commander feel like a captain.
Shi Yue stood at the corner door, a trace of disdain flashing at the corner of his mouth!
Confucius said: What's the rush?
You, Xiong Qishan, are just a minister of the Ministry of Industry, ranked at the bottom of the six ministries. Not to mention those princes, generals, and big crocodiles who haven't had time to show their loyalty. You, a little shrimp, want to get the best? Are you crazy for wanting to be promoted?
Today's short-sighted flattery will surely pay a heavy price tomorrow!
Xiong Qishan looked proud, his four white eyes flashed, and he said happily: "Sir, I have prepared a small gift for you, and I hope you will enjoy it!" As he spoke, he clapped his hands with pride.
.
Shi Yue has always wondered, where does Xiong Qishan's outstanding self-confidence come from?
While thinking about it secretly, a stunning beauty with stunning appearance and graceful figure, wearing tulle, flew into the hall like a cheerful butterfly to the elegant sound of the piano.
